She is honored to be the steward of a small piece of land in Baltimore County\, where she has planted many of the native trees\, shrubs\, and herbaceous plants she remembers from her childhood\, as well as many old-fashioned garden favorites. She approaches natural dyeing and eco printing with enthusiasm and sense of exploration. This willingness to follow the question\, “what if …” has led to many happy discoveries about the colors present in the plants found in our gardens and wild spaces. Pamela is happiest in the garden planting\, tending\, or harvesting; in the studio making prints\, creating books or playing with fibers; or when sharing her love of these activities with others. \n  \nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook URL:https://njfibershed.com/event/community-day-natural-dye-workshop/ LOCATION:Middle Brook Fiberworks\, 705 Larger Cross Rd\, Bedmdinster\, NJ\, 07921\, United States CATEGORIES:workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://njfibershed.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/8177391B-5F77-4D7A-896E-57C3E8B019DC_1_201_a-2.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="NJ Fibershed":MAILTO:njfibershed@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20221217T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20221217T160000 DTSTAMP:20260422T213013 CREATED:20221213T190951Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221213T191129Z UID:26286-1671271200-1671292800@njfibershed.com SUMMARY:Duck Flats Farm Christmas -Chanukah Open House - Producer Member Event DESCRIPTION:Friday\, December 16\, 2022 and Saturday\, December 17\, 2022 \nTime:  10:00 am to 4:00 pm \nYarn * Roving * Needle Arts Supplies \nUnique Hand-Made Gifts \nGift Certificates \n\nCranberry-Apple Chutney\nPhotos by Professional Photographer\, Samantha Monaco \nRaw Honey from Windy Hill Farm\, Cherryville\, NJ\n\n“free yarn give-a-away for all customers”  \nCome see our new Lower Fiber Studio\, specializing in weaving yarns \n\nCome see our “Fiber Wall” of many colors in the Lower Fiber Studio\nLovely sport and bulky weight yarns in many colors\nAs always\, our own Finn and Finn-cross yarns and roving\n\n \nFor information/directions: \nWebsite:  duckflatsfarmnj.com \nOr \nduckflats@earthlink.net \nOr \nCall or Text  908.303.5893 \n  \nPlease see the attached flyer for the information for our Christmas/Chanukah Open House this December 16th and 17th.
